Internship Site Agreements

In order for Evergreen students to complete an internship at your site we require that there be an institutional agreement between your internship site and The Evergreen State College.

Please note: Site Agreements are not required for internships sponsored by any official governmental agency of the State of Washington.

If your site is not an official governmental agency sponsored by the State of Washington, and you or a representative from your site have not already done so in the last year, please complete and have an authorized party at your site sign and return the Internship Site Agreement (PDF) to the Academic Deans Office at The Evergreen State College.

You may also view a list of active Internship Organizations that have already completed and submitted an Internship Site agreement.

The internship site agrees to:

  • Maintain a safe working environment and inform students of particular risks related to different activities so that students can knowledgeably agree to participate.
  • Comply with federal and state laws regarding nondiscrimination and sexual harassment in the work place.
  • Follow Labor and Industries requirements regarding fair labor standards, particularly as they relate to paid and unpaid internships.

In addition each party to this agreement agrees that:

  • They will be responsible for their own negligent acts and the negligent acts or omissions of its own employees, officers, or agents in the performance of this Agreement. No party will be considered the agent of the other and neither party assumes any responsibility to the other party for the consequences of any act or omission of any person, firm, or corporation not a party to this Agreement.
